I got to see him live in Portland this past summer, and he was fucking awesome. He obviously hasn't been not doing shows for all those years because he couldn't. He was in complete control, and the songs were seemingly brand new for the occasion, and as good as anything I'd heard before. I think he probably has been playing in some other type of group, maybe a blues band or something, in Texas under some other name. I'd go see him again at the drop of a hat and pay whatever it cost.
